Min Chaos

How does this make any sense at all?  Adding one families chaos to another families chaos somehow makes it less chaotic?  Well, as backwards as it sound, it really does work!  John (Papa Min) has a huge project at work and has had to work really late so we've been hanging out with Jane quite a bit to help out.  I can't imagine having the kids from the time they get up (and their kids get up WAY early) to the time they fight going to sleep without any reprieve.  Somehow our kids and their kids entertain each other enough that it a relief for the parents!  Gaetan has been working a lot more too tutoring Nervous Guy, so it has been helpful for us as well!

Making fruit loop necklaces

I was helping Christian get started

Showing off their works of art.  Ava specifically only picked out the red

Norah say very patiently and gladly ate any fruit loops the kids tossed her way

We play hard at the Mins

She is extra sweet

I call this her eating throne

One of the times we went there we did a little craft and this last time we went over and watched her kids so she could bake in peace.  That might not sound that relaxing but there is something to being able to cook/bake by yourself, in peace, knowing that kids aren't fighting or that you have to worry about them getting into things... which was just what she wanted to do!  We played hard in the basement and then did all sorts of playing outside.  The weather was awesome so being outside definitely wasn't a hardship :)






















It is really nice knowing there is another Mom friend that is going through the same struggles daily and that we can rely on each other for relief when needed.  May the chaos continue!  (For we know it will so we might as well embrace it haha)

Having a nice brunch with them
